Foxy Brown + 1 Head to Rikers

2007_08_foxy.jpgFoxy Brown, after violating probation, got an all access pass to the big house this morning. The rapper managed to use a Blackberry as a weapon earlier this month - the latest on a list of violent outbursts, yet has managed to stay out of jail against all odds until this point.

The judge sent her off to Rikers, but she's not alone -- The Post is reporting that Foxy is three months pregnant! For now she'll spend at least two weeks in the pre-natal unit. Once her time is served she'll be right back in front of the same judge at the Manhattan Criminal Court for a hearing on charges saying she has "flouted the rules of probation" on top of the aforementioned incidents.

Expected jail time overall exceeds a year, and given that the probation department lawyer told the judge she has "abused the privilege [of probation] to the point of no return," it looks like Foxy can plan on shades of jail-cell-gray for her baby shower color theme. The Post has a run down of some of Foxy's offenses:

First among them is Foxy getting arrested earlier this month for allegedly whacking a Brooklyn neighbor in the face with her Blackberry, giving the woman a loose tooth and a bruised eye in an apparent fight over the volume of Foxy's car stereo.

Her other alleged probation offenses include missing court-ordered appointments with her anger management therapists and probation officer, along with recently getting busted in Bergen County on a traffic infraction when she’d not asked for probation permission to go to New Jersey.

Her lawyer insists that with the new baby on its way, a wedding on the horizon and a reality TV show in the works - the rapper is turning her life around. If reality series were known for getting lives back on track, then we'd be seeing a Busey/Baio ticket in 2008! And even if they did lead to redemption, her long history with the judge (who Foxy declared has "a disdain for hip hop") isn't going to help her out.

The thought that she is facing jail time is outrageous! She's just keeping it real. What's the crime in that?

throw away the key...like we need anymore has-been ghetto wannabe rich bitches polluting this city with their bullshit

You think she's worried about having her picture taken while she's going to the bathroom? Oh wait, I think she already showed that in one of her videos.

FREE FOXY FREE!

This is a travesty. Violence is part of her culture, so it should be ok. It's clearly racial.

#2 we don't need any of the has-been, wannabe, rich asshole/bitches/hoes polluting our society with their bullshit

What a big surprise this must have been for Foxy. To be remanded into custody without any notice is tough. There goes the Labor Day BBQ.
SP, it's no travesty. Surely you jest. Racial? Get real. She was lucky enough to get probation in the first place. She abused the privilege and now must pay the price. Even her moonlighting state senator lawyer couldn't save her this time. Violence may be part of her culture, but she lives in a society.


Hooray for Judge Jackson!

Stupid Bitch deserves what she is getting.

TEST ONLY - READER DISREGARD: Foxy is a wonderful role model for the young African-American community and I hope she doesn't have to give birth in prison...

foxy's disgusting looking, hasn't had a hit or even a decent record in years, and is a savage of a human being

[11] This may seem like a fascinating project for you, seeing which comments will be deleted and which won't depending on the attitudes they take towards various religious and racial groups, but it is tiresome. I'm not going to apologize for deleting your hateful and bigotry-filled comment earlier, and I'm certainly not going to waste my time chasing you from comment section to comment section on individual posts. I wish I could erase every hateful post with a magic wand, but I can't and it's not my job to do so. Please cease this stupid exercise. And thanks for your valued and continued readership.

For other readers confused by this comment. Please accept my apologies and disregard it as meaningless.

Wasn't she chased down and beaten by a bunch of hookers a few weeks ago? Perhaps, their pimp daddy will give the green light again to some of his prison contacts.

I'd like to see a three-way boxing match with Foxy Brown, Remy-Ma and Lil Kim - winner take all. Any interested parties out there?

#7: yes, that was sarcasm. please read the thread from a few days ago on Michael Vick where some idiot said what he did was ok because it's part of his "culture".

I agree with the judge, she committed a crime, she got probation, she broke that, and now she must go to jail. It's the same consequence everyone else would receive. Now if only those idiot California judges would send Lindsay Lohan to jail for breaking the law.

To the tombs you go foxy.. At least shes deaf so the horrid of the metal gates opening and closing every 20 minutes will be hard to hear. I would have to say that was the hardest part about being there.

user-pic

I would spend no more than 20 bucks on her - $25 tops ie if I had a "hard" day at work...

#15-Lil Kim wins hands down cuz she the Queen Bee.

Can't believe Foxy tried to pull a Nicole Richie by getting knocked up in the midst of her legal woes. I smell a trend.
